I have been a Physical Therapist for 35years mostly in the orthopedic realm
I am a certified manual therapist - Kaltenborn techniques, mentor Martin Langaas
I also have a Doctorate of Science degree - topic of Gait Biomechanics related to foot structure
I love to treat spine and feet but really any musculoskeletal problem
I have fabricated orthoses and also use a commercial lab as well
I currently work 3 days in Spaulding Outpatient Cambridge, MA
Other days I see private patients - which can be for pilates reformer work, manual work or just helping patients navigate their care
I am finding that craniosacral knowledge I gained in CS1 is helping patients with headaches and anxiety.
